I was counting on you being there,
Hoping you would shield me from the glare.
Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life.
I've been waiting an eternity
For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me.
Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life.
Things we did together yesterday,
Feels more like twenty years ago,
Oh, baby, I never lied -
I told you my hands were tied
All the time. You said "That'll be fine."
Like the mariners from ages past,
I steer my way through trackless seas
By the light of stars.
Won't you be my shadow?
